The world is rational.

If the world is irrational, how can we learn to be rational in the first place? (despite being able to think/act irrationally)

Perhaps what we perceive as rational only appears that way at the tiny scale of our existence, but in a larger sense they are actually just "anomalies" that you naturally get in a random, irrational system. Flip a coin a billion times and you'll get many long stretches here and there where it keeps landing on the same side.
